Japan Roadtrip Part 6: The Oigawa Railway (a steam train) from Shin-Kanaya to Senzu (and back)

#Japan #Roadtrip Part 6: The #OigawaRailway from #ShinKanaya to #Senzu, both #Shizuoka Prefecture. In Japan you still find many active steam trains, but what makes Oigawa Railway so special is that it is the only steam train to operate year-round on a regular, scheduled service. And it runs as an Express Train on the route, overtaking the local (electrical) train at a half-way stop! The landscape to both sides is amazing as the train crosses the river multiple times while going up into the mountains. You also see many tea and rice fields. If you want to ride a steam train in Japan, search for SL trains as they are called here. SL for Steam Locomotive.
